7.1 INTRODUCTION

Biomaterials have become indispensable in the elds of regenerative medicine,
dentistry, and infection treatment, playing a crucial role in the restoration and
enhancement of biological functions [1–6]. In the eld of regenerative medicine, they
are used to create scaffolds that guide cellular growth and tissue regeneration [3].
Among the various biomaterials, bioactive glasses (BGs) are considered a group of
reactive ceramic materials with attractive properties (Field [7]). Primarily composed
of silica, calcium, sodium, and phosphorus [8], BGs are designed to interact positively
with biological tissues, making them particularly suitable for medical applications.
One of its key properties is the ability to bond with living tissues through the forma-
tion of a hydroxyapatite layer on its surface that mimics the mineral composition of
bone. This bioactivity facilitates its integration with the surrounding tissues, promot-
ing bone regeneration and healing. Furthermore, BG exhibits excellent mechanical
strength, making it an ideal candidate for various biomedical applications, such as
bone grafts, dental implants, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Its controlled degrada-
tion over time allows for the gradual release of essential ions, promoting cell growth
and enhancing the overall healing process.
Bioactive glass was rst developed by Larry Hench and colleagues at the
University of Florida [1] and was the rst reported material to form an interfacial
bond with host tissue after implantation. The composition of the rst BG was 46.1%
SiO
2
, 24.4% NaO, 26.9% CaO, and 2.6% P
2
O
5
, in mol%, trademarked as 45S5
Bioglass
®
. Since then, several types of BGs have been developed primarily centred
around Hench’s original formulation, with the classic 45S5 Bioglass
®
composition
offering remarkable advantages due to its high bioactivity and osteoconductivity. The
S53P4 BG, commercially known as BonAlive® was developed in the early 1990s
136
137Recent Advances in Additive Manufacturing for Printing
at Åbo Akademi University and University of Turku and was the rst BG having a
composition different from 45S5 [8]. They deteriorated slowly and had stronger net-
work connectivity and sintering range than Bioglass®. Another type of BG material
was borate-based 13-93B, which replaced SiO
2
with B
2
O
3
and included additional
K
2
O and MgO as network modiers. They were widely utilized to create scaffolds
for tissue engineering [2, 9, 10].
A plethora of scientic literature is available for research on various types of
BG materials targeting specic properties and applications [11–17]. However, it is to
be noted that despite achieving desired properties, bioactive materials for medical/
biological applications require adequate mechanical strength to bear loads and must
be shaped for specic requirements, necessitating careful manufacturing. The con-
ventional manufacturing methods are the melt-quench and sol-gel methods [18,19].
The melt-quench technique involves melting raw materials at high temperatures fol-
lowed by rapid cooling to form glass [20–22]. In contrast, the sol-gel process requires
lower temperatures. The sol-gel method is a wet-chemical process where a solution
undergoes gelation and is subsequently heat-treated to form glass [23–25]. However,
these approaches have inherent limitations. The melt-quench technique faces lim-
itations in design complexity and time efciency primarily due to its reliance on
molds and subtractive manufacturing processes. Creating molds for intricate designs
is a time-consuming process, with each unique design requiring new molds. This
contributes to longer lead times and increased costs. Additionally, the subtractive
machining methods that involve the removal of excess material to achieve the nal
shape further limit the intricacy of designs that can be realized. Also, the batch
processing methods commonly employed for conventional manufacturing pose chal-
lenges for customizing each product to specic design requirements, particularly in
applications requiring individualized components such as patient-specic implants.
Furthermore, the setup and changeover time for machinery as well as the need for
skilled labour, contribute to the perceived limitations in time efciency and design
exibility [26, 27].
On the other hand, the sol-gel method, despite its distinctive advantages, presents
certain drawbacks. A notable challenge is the difculty in achieving consistent and
reproducible products on a large scale. Variations in precursor concentrations and
processing conditions can potentially undermine the uniformity of the nal product,
posing challenges in maintaining quality and reliability across production batches.
Scalability is another concern associated with the sol-gel method. The precision
achieved in the smaller-scale production encounters obstacles when attempting to
scale up to industrial levels. This transition introduces difculties in maintaining the
same level of control and uniformity, impacting the efciency and reliability of the
manufacturing process. In this context, the role of additive manufacturing (AM), also
widely known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, emerges as a promising technique
(Field [28–30]). The foremost advantage of 3D printing in BG production lies in its
unparalleled design exibility. The layer-by-layer additive approach allows for the
creation of intricate and customized structures, making it particularly advantageous
for applications requiring patient-specic implants and complex designs.
Recent research is focused on the 3D printing of BGs for a variety of applica-
tions, including orthopaedic and dental implants, scaffolds for tissue engineering,
